Swansea Cork Ferries Limited, is an Irish-based company owned by an Irish business consortium headed by Briar Star Ltd. They have only one route, sailing between Swansea, Wales and Ringaskiddy, Co. Cork in Ireland.
The ferry operates all year round and the ten hour journey is usually covered by an overnight sailing arriving in Ireland early in the morning, sailing back to Wales during the day time, arriving early evening.
There is only one ferry operating this service and can accommodate cars, camper vans and has rooms on board for all travellers.
After selling their most recent vessel due to capacity issues, and the inability to purchase a new vessel, it was announced through the local press that the company will not be operating a service during the 2007 summer season. The company have negotiated a reduction with Irish Ferries for their passengers until a replacement vessel is found.
